Stars In My Eyes (Free verse) by onlyontuesdays
You've left me here. I'm lying here all alone on the bed, The spot beside me still warm, As I roll over and over and over, Just trying to catch some sleep As it eludes my wandering mind. I muffle my sobs with a pillow, And try to blink the tears from my eyes. Then I feel your hands, Strong, Warm, And loving, As they run across my shoulders. I smile, And blink the stars from my eyes As the nightmare fades from memory, Replaced by the beautiful reality That is you. You kiss me awake And hold me, Whispering that you love me. And I know I don't have to say, Because you already know, That I love you, too.

Decent image content, but it is wasted in the self reference. Try removing all references to yourself and try replacing the concept of (your) him with something like that-special-someone-we-all-have-you-know-what-I'm-saying.

And see if ending the poem with the broken lines from the center does anything.

And furthermore you don't love me, you're just in love with my po-ems.

I think it's a good poem, but you might want to consider cutting the first line. The rest of the poem tells us that and you can trust the reader.

Too Hallmark for me, no depth.
